Road Trip Wednesday #38: Greatest Hits

Welcome to our 38th Road Trip Wednesday!

Road Trip Wednesday is a "Blog Carnival," where YA Highway's contributors post a weekly writing- or reading-related question and answer it on our own blogs. You can hop from destination to destination and get everybody's unique take on the topic.

We'd love for you to participate! Just answer the prompt on your own blog and leave a link in the comments.

This Week's Topic:

Give us a link to the best blog post you've ever written!

Kate: Maybe not my best post ever, but it certainly got the most hits...

Kate is the author of After the Fall, coming January 24, 2017 from Farrar, Straus and Giroux. A former teacher and grant writer, she now owns a treehouse-building business in the Ozarks and hosts the Badass Ladies You Should Know interview series.

Oh man, I had a tough time choosing. I don't think any of my posts are ground-breaking but re-reading this one (http://sarahnfisk.blogspot.com/2009/12/christmas-story.html) made me tear up a bit.

I'm also really proud of this one (http://sarahnfisk.blogspot.com/2010/06/spots-and-all.html) because it's the first time I've publicly written about my disease. It also inspired one of my RL friends to talk to me about his Psoriasis, which he normally doesn't do.

This is still one of my faves. It got a lot of comments *and* hits, and Therese Walsh thanked me in an email for highlighting her work as a good example. (I *heart* her)

The topic is about different ways to make a first page strong (all of it my own opinion, though), and then I posted some examples of what I thought were strong chapter or scene openings in my YA novel, SUMMER HOAX. (FYI: at the time I posted, the novel was "in progress", but it is now completely finished and on the query-go-round)
